Heat Guard Review

Heat Guard is a creative idea to solve the problem of leaving a child or pet in the car. Many of us would say we wouldn't leave our loved ones in the car but it is something that can happen to anyone. We all have rough days and days when we can't even handle our own self. Those are the days when we make small mistakes like leaving your keys in the car, forgetting your phone in the store or even losing your wallet. Mistakes happen and it can happen to anyone. The problem isn't who will leave their child or pet in the car, the problem is how can we decrease the number of incidents that are caused by leaving a loved one in the car. Well, Heat Guard addresses that issue by creating a seatbelt that senses and alerts you when their is a living being left in the car. Especially, I believe that a lot of people leave their pets in the car on purpose and believe that by leaving the window cracked it won't affect them. I myself have done that, but I was also quick to leave the store and acknowledged the temperature outside. There is no excuse for leaving your love ones in the car and Heat Guard not only addresses the importance for it but also gives a usable technology to solve that issue.
     The only issue that is in my concern is that I believe this will only be effective for higher class people or people who are getting a vehicle. I know we addressed this issue in class but I do not see a way around it. The group mention that it would cost around $150 but I do not believe that is considered cheap for a lot of people. Yes, it is not expensive but let's be honest would we really buy something like that? The reason people leave their children or pets in the car is because they forget and many don't believe that they are capable of that. Other just believe that cracking the window is good enough. Most people do not have that kind of budget to spend $150 on something when they think they can avoid the incidents. I know that the group mentioned that they would place certain cameras and things in every car but it would still be a lot to work with. Keeping that in mind, not everyone buys new cars or cars from the dealership. Most people with economical issues by cheap used cars from the internet or from other people. Other than that concern, I believe that if the group finds a good way to promote the product and make it successful it would be an awesome idea and for a great cause!
